Leviticus 7:28-9:6Mark 3:31-4:25
Psalm 37:12-29
Proverbs 10:5
Reading Leviticus 7, we see a theme in verses 28-38 that demonstrate God's provision for those who follow him. The text says that when the Israelites sacrificed their gifts to God, the Lord would provide for the needs of the priests by giving them a portion of that which belonged to him. Thus, God never allowed his workers to go hungry. As long as the priests did their job, and as long as the people came to offer sacrifices, God's workers enjoyed a wealthy life of God providing for their needs.
The story reminds us of trusting in God's provision. When we serve God, he always takes care of our needs. Obedience to God results in continual provision and blessing. That's not to say that hard times will never come. However, when we trust in the Lord, he will share with us from the table of his rich blessings and everlasting kindness.

So is this the first time since the new year that you haven't posted every day?
It was easy to keep up this week. Only 1 new post since I last visited. What happened? Go out of town for a couple of days, then get sick and you think you can go without posting? Shame, Shame, Shame.
Nah, just kidding. :o)
Have a good week.
